Grandmas Prune Cake submitted by Valerie Machen

My Grandmother made this weekly for my Grandfathers lunches. She would freeze them in little margarine containers. She used to get so mad at me and my four siblings because we used to get them out of the freezer and eat them. No wonder she had to make them weekly!
